The Apprenticeships and Training Conference (ATC) delivers an agenda designed to equip delegates with the insight, ideas and practical tools needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving skills landscape. Below you will find the outline timings for ATC 2026, including main plenary sessions, workshop blocks, the employer summit and networking opportunities. Session titles and speakers will be added as they are confirmed.

Across the conference you can expect high impact keynote addresses, lively panel discussions, hands on workshops and dedicated time to connect with leaders from across the apprenticeships and training community. The programme is built to balance big picture thinking with real world examples you can take back to your organisation.

The 2026 agenda will explore the major themes shaping the future of workforce development, including skills policy reform, the integration of artificial intelligence, leadership in a changing world of work, and deeper collaboration between providers and employers.

We will start announcing sessions and speakers from late November, with new content released on a rolling basis in the run up to the conference. Check back regularly for updates, newly confirmed contributors and detailed session information. This is one event you will not want to miss.
